Item 1 - Update on Nocatee Parkway Alternative Bicycle Route Analysis. The St. Johns County Public Works Department will provide a brief presentation on their findings related to identifying a contiguous bicycle route along Nocatee Parkway corridor between Intracoastal Waterway and Crosswater Parkway. Various associations and individual members of the bicycle community have requested the County to allow bicycling along Nocatee Parkway from Davis Pond Road to Crosswater Parkway. This section of the Nocatee Parkway is designated as a Limited Access Roadway; by its designation (section 316.091, Florida Statutes), cannot be utilized by a bicycle, motor-driven cycle, or any other vehicle which by its design or condition is incompatible with the safe and expedient movement of traffic. Further research indicates that Florida Statues, section 336.08 allows the County to change such designations by resolution. Undesignating this section as a Limited Access Roadway allows bicycling connectivity from east of the Intercoastal Waterway to the existing County biking facilities along Crosswater Parkway and offers a benefit to the bicycle community. Staff supports the undesignation as it serves in the best interest of the public.
